Methods/materials/tools to use for cleaning rust before painting?
#1
Can anyone give me some guidelines on methods/materials/tools to use for cleaning rust off/then pre-treating/then painting - parts of the metal frame, metal nuts and bolts & any other metal on the bike including exhaust header bolts? Plus the same kind of question for chipped fairing plastic (but obviously that's a lot easier)?

In short - as long as any exposed spots are completely clean/free of dirt and rust then I assume my new paint emulsion will be durable. Question is - how do I get to that point in which these surfaces are completely clean?
Nut and bolt strip down would be the 'extreme' solutionĀ  Wink but am not going down that routeĀ  Big Grin.
Cheers

Happiness is finding you have another gear left....
If there's no solution then its not a problem.
